As my father used to say.. you know when you've arrived back in West Yorkshire (Leeds) by the number of potholes.

Well today, by drivers side rear tyre hit one on the way to taking my son to his diving club.

the tyre has done 4000 miles only. The car is now booked in at OPC Leeds for a replacement tyre.

Sorry to hear that Iain. Hope Leeds OPC sort you out OK + good luck with getting some reimbursement from the Council.

PS....if you let us know whereabouts it happened - I'll make sure I avoid the area!

+1 is not the offending hole having been visibly identified the criteria for liability?
